A ALABAMA While Walter Winchell is away, this month, his column will ha conducted by guest column au. Lady, Learn to Cook or Your GI Will Go Home to The Army! By Captain Ben Irvin Bntler (Founder end President of the Society of Amsteur Chefs.) “Sitting by the roadside on a Summer day “Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away— “Singing in the shadows underneath the trees; “Goodness — how de-li-ci- out — eating GOOBER PEASr That’s an old Civil war song. And it goes to show that in all wars up permost in the soldier’s mind is food. I should spell that word with capitals—FOOD. Zora Layman, the radio and re cording artist, sang “Eating Goober Peas” the other night at a cocktail party. I don’t know whether it was her singing or what, but Zora Lay man’s song practically started a riot. I was the center of it all. The women at the party began asking me questions. They wanted to know all about Army food. And believe me, I told ’em! I told them both as an ex-Air Corps captain and as the founder of the Society of Ama teur Chefs, an exclusive New York ctyib composed of famous men who make a hobby of cooking. First of all, I explained about this business of KP. The movies and fiction have paint ed kaypee mostly as a business of peeling potatoes and cleaning gar bage cans. But that’s a lot of non sense. Many soldiers try to get on KP. And why not—the kitchen is one of the warmest spots around the camp in the Winter time. The du ties are easy enough. And there’s always the pick of a well-stocked larder from which to select one’s food. I’m not kidding. Instead of being a punishment job handed out by the army to recalcitrants, kaypee is one detail GI Joe doesn’t mind. According to Bill Rhode, who is one of the editors of Gourmet, many of their fan letters come from soldiers and sailors. I had lunch with Bill the other day and he told me how many requests for epicure an recipes there had been from men in the various services. That very day, he’d received a letter from an Admiral asking how to smoke herring. The slogan, "the best fed Army in the world,” has been tossed around a great deal. People don’t any longer grasp entirely what it means. The Army kitchen is no harum- scarum affair. In many instances it is an electrical job, spick-and-span, offering an open invitation to good cookery. It has everything in the way of equipment and, believe me, the medical officers see to it that it is as sanitary as a kitchen can pos sibly be made. No foolin’—you can just about see your face in the bot tom of an Army garbage can. Thousands of Army lads have been carefully trained in cooking, butchering and baking and most of them have become good cooks. Some, at least, have become effi cient cooks, although perhaps un inspired. And then, of course, some will never learn. Hence the dis crepancy between reports from va rious camps and units. Some men will rave about the food they en joyed in their outfit. Others will keep on yearning for Mother’s beef stew and apple pie. But, take it from me, very few are telling their pals what a wonderful cook the girl is they left behind. And there’s something else I told the ladies at the cocktail party to ponder over. Though the Army food wins no squawks, the GIs occasionally yearn for the finer things of life. For in stance, a nephew of mine, John Pi per, who is an Army pilot some where in the South Pacific, upon learning that I was back in New York, wrote to me for a recipe for Wild Duck a la Press. My old mess sergeant, now stationed in a south ern climate, inquired as to how to make a tart lime marmalade. Another inquiry came to me from a service man far away—I’ll let you guess — asking how to make “Tuiles.” These are thin wafers that accompany curry when the lat ter is served in the elegant manner. An officer connected with the Army’s dietary service told me that he’d had an inquiry from a mess sergeant asking how to make wine out of berries—a reasonable enough request—only the Army doesn’t give out with answers to such questions. They Know Now All Food Doesn’t Come Out of Cans! With repeal came the renaissance of American gastronomy. Slowly, an interest in good food returned. But with the War, millions of boys are learning and discovering that all food does not come out of tin cans. And this interest is growing by leaps and bounds. In camps, soldiers have eaten freshly baked bread and the old “cotton wadding” type of bread from the comer grocery store won’t have much appeal to these boys to the future. THOSE NEW HOTEL RULES The War Manpower commission has come out with an order to hotels to cut down on service. Change the sheets only twice a week, limit the towels to three a day, hire older help and reduce room service 50 per cent, it commands. All of which proves that the members of WMC haven’t been stopping at hotels for the past year or they’d know the hotel men have been ahead of them. “If I could get three towels a day I’d think I had political influence,” declares Elmer Twitchell. “For the last year I’ve been bringing my own towels. And they cut room service practically out soon after Pearl Harbor. You not only can’t get a hotel to serve breakfast in bed; it won’t even guarantee it in the dining room!” • “I used to phone a hotel and quibble about the room and the number of windows. Now I just ask for a room with two towels and an occasional sheet,” said Elmer. O The WMC has come out with one new order, however. It says hotels should limit guests to one bath a day, unless they want to use the same bath towel again. One bath towel per day is the new Federal limit. You can wring a towel out, however, and use it again without impairing the war effort. • We met a man with two towels and some spare sheets over one arm and a box of lunch under the other today. He said he was going to one of the smartest hotels in the city and was taking no chances. • Mr. Twitchell came out with a few verses on the subject: If you go to a hotel go No concern for service show; Ask for little, with a laugh, And be satisfied with half. Do not grab the pbone and roar, “Hey, what am I paying for?” Stow that old familiar yell, “Who called this a good hotel?” Bathe but once and don’t get sore; Towels now have gone to war; If the sheets are not too white They’ve been in the glebal fight. Breakfast would you have in bed? Then for days you’ll stay unfed; Want a bellhop P.D.Q.? It’s a good trick ... if you do. Ask no beer as of yore Sent up to the 19th floor; With your kicks don’t be too free... You COULD be in Normandy! • e • QUERY FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Elmer Twitchell today demanded of all candidates for President an answer to the following questions vital to American life: L What is your position on the proper ingredients for a wartime hamburger? Z. Are you tor tower stickers on windshields? 3. If elected will yon do some thing about rose beetles? 4. Do you promise to work for Federal operation of lawn mowers? 5. Are yon for a ceiling on shore dinners? 6. What is your attitude regard ing the dirty towel so common to all soda fountain and quick-lunch rooms? 7. Do you promise to fight for the return of the second crab to the American order of soft-shelled crabs? 8. Are you in favor of some regu lations that will make it easier for the radio audience to tell when the battle ends and the commercial be gins? 9. Will you take a stand for a two- minute limit to those boresome pre views of coming events at picture houses? 10. Will you investigate the prob lem of what has become of por ters at railroad stations? • 11. Will you fight the idea being rapidly promoted among young Americans that the routine path to security is to make the round of the radio programs offering cash prises for answers tp easy ques tions? 12. How do you stand in the mat ter of cleaning the washrooms in railroad trains? 13. Will yon do anything about making it possible to get spare parts for automobiles occasionally? 14. Are yon for the return of cuffs on men’s pants? 15. What is your position on wom en’s hats? • e e Just about the time you decide that idiocy is on the decline in America yon tune in and hear an other radio musical jingle for a chewing gum, hair tonic or bun. • • • Hitler must have a terrific yen these days to purge the fellow who told him U-boats would win the war. * • • There are to be fewer turkeys for civilians this year. The home-front patriot may have to undergo the terrific sacrifice of refusing a third heiptog^.^ ^ .. ^ DOXY’S FAMOUS dancing Rock- ettes is a troupe that knows all the answers. Not only do they possess the ultimate in feminine charm, but they swing their shapely legs in perfect unison and thrill audiences with their precision per formances. But they also know a winner when they see one. Several years ago this group voted red-haired Lucille Bremer the No. 1 girl most likely to win fame in pic tures. That they scored a bull’s- eye is now being proved at Metro, where that same Miss Bremer, for- merly of the Rockettes, is win ning much ac claim from all beholders. The only Rockette to achieve this dis- Lucille Bremer tinction, her first camera chore was a straight dra matic role in “Meet Me in St. Louis,” with Judy Garland. No sooner was this completed than her dancing feet hied her to a re hearsal hall to prepare for Partner Fred Astaire and the lavish “Zieg- feld Follies,” in which every star of note on the lot appears. And there are more to come—stellar roles in “Yolanda and the Thief” and “Red Shoes,” to mention two. SI Just About Everything A triple threat in the charm cate gory, Lucille Bremer has beauty, brains and photogenic appeal. In addition she can dance, act and pro ject a magnetic personality through the camera lens onto celluloid and sound track. “Know what you want and you are more than half way to it” is the philosophy of this girl with red hair and a determination to be ready for the breaks as they come. She arrived in Hollywood only a year ago after attracting attention with her dancing at New York’s Ver sailles restaurant. She was tested for the screen in a scene from “Dark Victory,” and her performance, viewed the next day, convinced her bosses they had not only a dancer but an actress as well. Life History Born in Amsterdam, N. Y., Lu cille was dancing with the Phila delphia Opera company at the age of 12 and at 16 joined the famed Rockettes in New York. Sli-s toured Europe with this precision dance troupe. “When we weren’t on the stage giving performances,” she ex plained, “we were on the stage re hearsing.” Back in the United States again, she left the troupe to take up a career as a model. She returned again to her dancing in “Panama Hattie," “Dancing in the Street,” and at the Versailles, where she was discovered by a Metro execu tive. Hollywood, usually blase in its at titude toward newcomers, sat up and took notice from the first day Miss Bremer put her foot on the lot. Its first observation was that she strongly resembled Bette Davis. That could have been a disadvan tage, but you see Metro has no Bette Davis. She’s a Go-Getter The next thing that impressed the studio was that here was a girl not content to sit back and wait for things to happen. From the moment she arrived she began preparing herself and begging for a chance. Her teot had been dramatic. Nothing was said about a dancing role. But she practiced daily in the studio rehearsal halls. When you’re a dancer you’ve got to practice to keep fit. When, several months later, she was selected for the role of Fred Astaire’s dancing partner, she was ready. The screen, being a new medium, gave her something to think about. She wanted to learn about makeup, hair styles, all that went on inside the studio. That’s a little hard to do in one short year (if ever), but Lu cille tried. She stuck her nose in the darnedest places. Sometimes all she got was a bad smell, but even then she was learning. Tough School—But Good All of which goes to prove that Roxy’s Rockettes know what makes for success. Yes, and so does Fred Astaire. Believe me, when you team up with Astaire you’re in the fastest rhythm contest you can find in this coun try. And who knows? Maybe Carrot Top Lucille Bremer will go as far as his other partner Ginger Reg ers. Anyway she’s on her way now, and it won’t be long till we know. • • • Hollywood’s Forbidden Fruit Gregory Peck will kiss Ingrid Bergman twice as long as the Hays office allows in “House of Dr. Ed- wardes,” but don’t get excited— here’s how they do it. First the camera records the kiss, then pans down to its reflection in a brook— and Mr. Hays can’t say a word about it. . . . Ella Raines, who’s doing “Arsene Lupin” for Universal, was given Charles Boyer’s bunga low for her birthday. Ob no, Charles wasn’t in it. _ — — Dose of Laughter Gives Stimulus and Relaxation If laughter could be ordered at the druggists, any doctor would prescribe many laughs every day. A dose of laughter is a combina tion of stimulus like that of vita min tablets plus the relaxation of bromides. Laughter is exercise for the diaphragm, which is neg lected in most exercises except deep breathing. If you could X-ray yourself when you laugh, you would see aston ishing results. Your diaphragm goes down, down, and your lungs expand. You are taking more oxy gen than usual and that oxygen passes into the blood exposed in your lungs. As you laugh, the rate of exposure to oxygen is doubled or trebled. A surge of power runs from head to toes.
